We fought The Man...
...And for once, we won.
Chris and I signed up for Vonage a week or two ago (voice-over IP --- much cheaper and runs off high-speed Internet line) in order to finally shed the shackles of Bell Canada for good.
We have been freed. Liberated.
Screw you, Bell, and your shitty customer service and ass-reaming prices. For too long have you ruled. You have become lazy, swollen and indolent.
For more than $6 less than the very cheapest Bell basic service, we now have all the fancy features (voice mail, call display, etc, etc), unlimited Ontario long distance and 500 minutes anywhere in North America. You get to keep your phone number. They're offering free hook-ups, a free month... (Why wouldn't we switch, when we could pay less than $40/month where we were previosuly paying between $70 - $85/month?)
The only drawback was that you couldn't have multiple extensions without farting about with wireless systems or other bullshit.
That is, until Chris discovered that if you remove the phone line into your apartment/house (removing any possible electrical current from the existing lines) and plugged the Vonage router directly into your phone jack, you instantly have service to every jack in your place.
Take that, Bell.
(It's a small victory... but a victory nonetheless.)
